BREAKING: Brisbane, Queensland has officially been named the host city for the 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

It is a very proud moment and I have no doubt that the Olympics will be transformational for Brisbane and our State – just like World Expo 88 was all those years ago.

We know that the Olympic Games will bring approximately $8.1 billion in economic and social benefits and will help create more than 91, 000 full-time equivalent jobs.

This is why our bid has been supported by all levels of Government – the Morrison Federal Government, the Palaszczuk State Government and the SEQ Council of Mayors.

It means a decade of new opportunities that will drive our COVID-19 Economic Recovery Plan forward – what a night ā€“ well done, Queensland šŸ™Œ
